Specialist Online Viola Tutors
Perhaps the early joy of playing has been replaced by the pressure of grades. Or maybe your child feels stuck, and the practice room has become a place of frustration. It’s hard to watch when you don’t know how to help with the specifics.
Even when you can’t help with the music, you can still help them. We find tutors who don't just teach technique, but who reconnect your child with their instrument. You answer a few questions in our Tutor Finder, and we'll recommend the right person for them.

When playing the viola feels like a joy again
With the right support, practice can stop feeling like a chore. We match your child with someone who understands how to build their confidence, whether they’re preparing for music grades, a school performance, or simply want to get better.
It’s about more than just hitting the right notes. It's about finding their rhythm again and feeling proud of the music they can make.

Matched with the right tutor — without the guesswork
Our Tutor Finder asks the questions you might not know to ask — from your child’s current level to their goals and learning style. We then recommend a shortlist of viola tutors we genuinely believe are the right fit.
Every tutor has been carefully vetted; only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted. They’re not just exceptional musicians, but patient and encouraging teachers.
And if the first session doesn’t feel quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we’ll find another match, completely free of charge.

Lesson went well.
Main hang-up to begin with was the technology - video issues at my end, but now got it sussed.
Fortunately, Rimma is very tolerant and I am now beginning to learn / understand some of the subtle nuances in learning to pay the viola.
